     There could also be a lot of debate on the video platform and freedom of speech regarding TikTok, which has been put in place in the US for a short time.

 

TikTok Ban and Unban Saga in the United States

     Banned: A day before Trump's oath taking ceremony, TikTok saw ban and unban saga in the US. In April last year, a ban was imposed on TikTok, but it was challenged in court. Now after the consent of the US Supreme Court, the ban comes into effect.

     Unbanned: Many people are opposed to the ban; even Elon Musk claimed the ban on TikTok is against freedom of speech. Although Trump was yet to take office, TikTok returned and started functioning normally, which means it was unbanned.

 

 

My Point About TikTok ban

     Ban on TikTok's is becoming an international issue, accordingly let's analyse its expert and experience points:

     Expert's Point: TikTok is owned by the Chinese firm ByteDance. However, many experts regard TikTok as Chinese spyware, which does not fall under the concept of "freedom of anything" in my opinion.

     Experience Points: In 2019, India, the world's largest market, banned TikTok, resulting in the rise of other platforms; even major sites such as YouTube introduced "shorts," which are now a superior alternative.

 

 

     Freedom of Speech is one of the major announcements made by Trump after taking the oath of the President, hence TikTok will probably not be banned now.
